Start the week with great food and even better company at the NAEC Opening Breakfast, right in the heart of one of America’s most iconic cities.
Chicago has always been a place where big ideas get built. It’s the right setting to connect with fellow elevator and escalator professionals, share what’s on your mind, and look ahead at what’s next for our industry.
Fuel up on a hearty Chicago-style breakfast, catch up with colleagues old and new, and arrive ready for a strong week at the Convention & Expo. The best conversations in this business don’t always happen in the sessions - sometimes they start over breakfast.
Key Note Speaker: Mark Gregorio, President of TEI Group
Mark entered the elevator industry at the age of 22 and was fortunate to apprentice under some of the most highly respected elevator technicians in New York City. During his tenure at Millar Elevator Industries, he achieved the rank of assistant supervisor with a strong commitment to perfection. He envisioned a company where everyone strives to do only their best and encourages others to do the same, maintaining an extreme focus on customer service and safety.
Today, standing as a testament to Mark's vision and leadership, TEI Group is the largest independent, full service vertical transportation company in the New York metropolitan market with a growing presence in the U.S. Southeast Region and Puerto Rico. Recognized as a key player in industry, Mark was appointed by New York Gov. Kathy Hochul to the Elevator Safety and Standards Advisory Board. In addition, he is a member of several trade associations, including the Real Estate Board, National Association of Elevator Contractors, Elevator Industry Association and New Building Congress. He is a board member of Autism Communities in New York and has been honored twice by the Diabetes Research Institute.
